Our Little Musician

I'm sure I have shared this before, but Adair is obsessed with music and instruments.  Her first love is the violin.  Everything she touches becomes a pretend violin...straws, drum sticks, mallets, rhythm sticks, spoons, etc.  A couple of weekends ago, she had the opportunity to play a real violin at my family reunion.  The sweet violinist noticed her obsession and offered to let her explore her violin.  She actually said she had the "touch".  Ha!  Perhaps we have a future violinist on our hands...

or perhaps a mandolin player.  She is beginning to be equally interested in all string instruments.  She loves her Joe-pa's guitar from his "band days" in high school and enjoyed playing this mandolin at the reunion.  I think it's time for me to start looking into lessons of some sort to try to capitalize on her interest and potential musical talent.

She also loves to sing.  Much to my surprise, she wanted to sing with the band at the reunion.  She was shy at first, but once she warmed up she sang "Jesus Loves Me", "This Little Light of Mine" and "Rocky Top".  (One of these things is not like the other, huh?)
